Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 (IS 1570 (Part 4):1988) and GOST 4543 12HN3A (GOST 4543-2016) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS) (India).
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 vs GOST 4543 12HN3A is a 69.1% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
